Good idea. You can re-create this file by running Xconfigurator. > I am not sure exactly how rpm works with that '--replacefiles' I'm sorry. I meant to say '--replacepkgs' which will overwrite the file of a rpm package already installed (ie: it will give you back the default file for the package). > My main question re doing rpm upgrade on various pkgs is: > will it, especially with the --replacepkgs : > modify many other config files > that I havent overwritten and dont want modified? If they are config files and the rpm was built correctly, the files will be marked as config files and will not be over-written. You can run `rpm -qpc rpm-you-want-to-install.i386.rpm` if you want to see the config files provided by a rpm before installing it. > for what it is worth here is the list of files and rpm -qf response > Any comments welcome If you know you've haven't modified these, you probably can replace them.
